Also knows as the strawberry queen of varieties it heralds spring, draped in its beautiful vermilion dress which reveals a melting and juicy flesh of both a sweet and sour taste, providing an extremely tasty personality.

Let the berries soak for about five minutes. Place berries in a colander and rinse with water. Transfer the strawberries to a paper towel and let them dry. Line the container you plan to use for storage with a paper towel and place the strawberries inside. Make sure they are all dry. Cover the lid and label it with the date. Your strawberries should last up to two weeks.
